That would be correct, T-shaped or edge to face

Subject: [ccp4bb] Tryptophan-Adenine interaction: T-shaped stacking?
Dear CCP4BB,
One tryptophan residue (side chain) in my case regulates the binding of AMP. The attached figure representing the relative position of the tryptophan and AMP. I am not very familiar with the chemistry in terms of π-stacking. So I am wondering
whether it is a T-shaped stacking interaction between the aromatic rings? Any thought?
Thanks!
Kind regards,
Wenhe
